Can't create database

You should only create databases through DirectAdmin's MySQL Management functions and then manage those databases with phpMyAdmin.

Is there anyway to do this in phpmyadmin? The problem with direct admin is it forces you to append the username infront of the database name.
 
Yes it's possible, but you would have to modify the permissions for the user to allow the creation of databases as well as the possibility of reconfiguring phpmyadmin to allow database creations (on by default, if there is such a configuration).

I would not recommend it though. If you don't append the username to the beginning of the database name, then DirectAdmin will have no way of enforcing a database limit, as well as tally disk usage for that user.
